With around 50,000 students, the University of Cologne is Germany's third-largest university. Its six faculties organize events ranging from small workshops to large congresses—centrally managed and connected to existing IT systems.
The university's computing center, RRZK, hosts Converia on its own servers, ensuring full data control. Key components of the solution:
- LDAP integration: Staff use existing university accounts instead of new login credentials
- SAP ERP integration for resource planning and departmental processes
- Custom corporate design for registration and abstract submission
- Multiple payment methods: bank transfer, credit card, PayPal
"An individual solution for every requirement." – Tatjana Rahn, Customer & Web Support, RRZK
